Question
The author’s claim that, since the mid-1970’s, a new strategy has emerged in the unionization of public-sector clerical workers would be strengthened if the author:
Options:
A .  compared the organizing strategies employed by private-sector unions with those of public-sector unions
B .  explained why politicians and administrators sometimes oppose unionization of clerical workers
C .  indicated that the number of unionized public-sector clerical workers was increasing even before the mid-1970’s
D .  showed that the factors that favored unionization drives among these workers prior to 1975 have decreased in importance
Answer: Option D
:
D
D is the best answer.
The question asks what would strengthen the author’s claim that a new strategy for unionization has emerged since the mid-1970’s. Lines 30-31 cite the appearance of the new strategy. The paragraphs that follow describe the changed circumstances that provided a context for such new strategies. Lines 70-76 explain precisely how these changed circumstances created a reason for new unionizing strategies. The author’s claim would be strengthened if it could be shown not only that there are such new circumstances, but that the old circumstances discussed in the first paragraph have become less important further necessitating the adoption of a new strategy in place of an old strategy suitable to those older circumstances.
